THE AFTERMATH The day after I blew the whistle on June 18 2024, an attorney from the compliance division at Texas Children’s called me. I was asked not to return to work the following day, and when I asked her why, she fumbled and stuttered, completely incapable of answering my question. That’s when I knew the hospital was in total panic mode. Here’s what happened next🧵

On June 20, @choeshow visited the home of Texas Children’s CEO Mark Wallace in a ritzy Houston neighborhood, knocked on his front door, and asked him to comment on the gender clinic malpractice and fraud occurring in his hospital. The video footage shows his face at the front door, and hiding just moments later. People who have nothing to hide… don’t hide.
Jonathan Choe@choeshow · Jan 24, 2025Trump officials are moving to dismiss the case against whistleblower Dr. @EithanHaim. His courage exposed the child sex-change clinic at Texas Children's Hospital. Last year, I confronted hospital CEO Mark Wallace but he had me thrown off his property.

This photo was taken in 2018, just a few weeks after I was hired. I was ecstatic. 6 years later, I look back at this photo and grieve. I grieve for a man whose legacy will forever be tainted by his allegiance to gender ideology and his utter failure to protect confused boys and girls from irreversible sex change interventions. This was the same man who wrote hospital wide communications assuring everyone that the transgender program had closed and was no longer operational. The same nonexistent program I was working in. He lied and deceived parents and lawmakers. In October of 2024, Mark Wallace stepped down from his 35 year tenure as the CEO of Texas Children’s Hospital.

You might be asking yourself- whatever happened to the two doctors I exposed in @christopherrufo article…the ones pumping vulnerable children with hormones, convincing them this was “lifesaving” treatment, and misdiagnosing patients intentionally to avoid detection by insurance???? @choeshow went to both of their homes and knocked on their doors. They were nowhere to be found.

@choeshow @christopherrufo And then…. The Texas Medical Center, the largest in the WORLD, was graced with a visual aid in the form of a truck with a message… perfectly positioned directly in front of the Mark Wallace tower. Bravo.

@carolinedowney_ kept the public pressure campaign going by writing an exposé on the cultural fabric of TCH’s affirmation model of care-including training slides where employees were “educated” on the gender fluidity spectrum. About this training I remember thinking.. what an absurd waste of time.
Caroline Downey@carolinedowney_ · Jun 24, 2024A mandatory training issued only a few weeks ago instructs 20,000 staff to affirm gender-dysphoric patients in the way they collect their personal information. It makes no distinction between children and adults. nationalreview.com/news/texas-chi…

TEXAS: @brianeharrison and @mayes_middleton wrote a letter demanding that Texas HHS investigate my claims, and so many others in the Texas legislature raised their voices in my defense. “There is perhaps no more important responsibility we all share than to be good stewards with tax dollars, and we are deeply concerned that the flagrant misuse of Medicaid/CHIP funds may be occurring. If true, not only do the actors involved know they are perpetrating a fraud, but they are doing it to engage in child abuse.”

I had low expectations when I went public, doubtful and uncertain if anyone would notice or care. Imagine my shock when people I had never met overwhelmed my Legal Defense Fund with financial support, with countless emails and messages from around the world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. After I was fired in August 2024, these early contributions by generous supporters enabled us to retain @BurkeLawTweets as our legal counsel. They are the most qualified, tenacious group of attorneys I have ever had the privilege of working with. If you feel led, please donate ⬇️

@choeshow @christopherrufo @carolinedowney_ @brianeharrison @mayes_middleton The story is far from done. Who knows, maybe I’ll do part 3?
